"Bill was very professional, friendly, and patient with our questions from start to end. He explained the installation in detail along with providing pictures of what to expect. Within 24 hours of installation, Airthings Radon monitor reported a significant radon level drop. After one week, the Radon average has gone from 8.6 to 0.6 pCi/L. Thank you, Bill and Jose."
"Schan did a great job, very professional. He came out to see what the job was before he gave me a quote. I have a huge crawl space which took some time but he stuck with it to finish it in one day.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the system and property layout.
Testing every 2-5 years or upon adjusting occupancy or structural changes maintains safe environments.
Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.
Keeping radon from getting into your home is much better than having to get rid of it once it's already indoors. While there may not be a way to fully prevent radon from getting into your home, there are things you can do to reduce the gas's ability to enter.
Sealing foundation cracks and openings can help keep the gas from seeping inside. Improving air flow, such as by opening windows, can also be helpful. If you're building your home from scratch, talk to your contractor about using radon-resistant construction to keep the gas out.
